On Sept. 14, Barnes & Noble discovered that the customer information had been stolen but kept the matter quiet at the Justice Department’s request made so that the F.B.I. could investigate.
The company is asking customers at any of the 63 Barnes & Noble where information was stolen to change their PINs and scan their accounts for unauthorized transactions. Most of the hacking occurred in September.
Currently, cashiers are swiping customer cards on readers connected to cash registers.
